Do we need a 256k stacksize or can we live > with something even smaller? It was 16K when synctask was introduced. This is a property of syncenv. We could create a separate syncenv for marker transactions which has smaller stacks. env->stacksize (and SYNCTASK_DEFAULT_STACKSIZE) was increased to 2MB to support pump xlator based data migration for replace-brick. For the no. of stack frames a marker transaction could use at any given time, we could use much lesser, 16K say. Does that make sense? _______________________________________________ Gluster-devel mailing list Gluster-devel@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel
